Hello. My 7 year old tabby has been diagnosed with fatty liver after a move to a new house that seemed to stress her too much. She spent 9 days in the hospital but was not eating enough so had a feeding tube placed on day 6. I took her home on Day 9 and have been nursing her since. She...

A week ago I lost a one year old kitten to leukemia. When we went to the vet, she was so far gone that the vet thought she maybe had a week. After x-raying her abdomen, he thought a few days. In an attempt to give her a few more days (so my husband could return from his trip and say goodbye)...

Hello all, I have a 5 year old cat diagnosed with FIP. The very symptoms that led to her diagnosis she has had since she was 4 weeks old. Five years later and she is going strong. I lost a kitten a week ago to very aggressive leukemia so I have turned my attention/obsession to my 5 year old...

My FIP cat opened a window and fell 2.5 stories Sunday morning. I took her to the vet and she had skinned her chin and nose but all teeth intact and vet saw no further damage. Her jaw was not majorly swollen so the vet believed that it is not fractured. She was growling the whole time they...

This is not my first kitten, its actually my third in the last 5 years and my 11th in my whole life. I found her on Nov 30 crying in a public park at 10 PM. The vet says she was barely 5 weeks. I picked her up, took her home and she was the sweetest thing for about 2-3 weeks. Now she is demon...

My 3 year old cat Gertrude started acting off on Sunday night. She ate, went to the bathroom, kinda played a bit but something in her eyes was not herself. Monday morning she was normalish and Monday night she slept on my chest with her face buried in my neck, something she has never done...

Hello. I am looking for advice or shared experiences with anyone who has had a cat with FIP. My 4.5 year old cat, Paloma, was finally diagnosed with FIP a few weeks ago. For years we have been battling reoccurring uveitis and general eye leakage and boogers. Years ago a group of veterinary...

Last night my cat exhibited some very strange behaviour and its worrying me sick.  She was acting normal, running and playing with the other cat.  When i went into the kitchen she came with me like always, and jumped to the top of the fridge.  When i walked back into the kitchen a few minutes...

Hey everyone.  Friday afternoon I noticed my 2 year indoor old cat salivating ALOT (no purring and no foaming).  No other strange behavior  (drinks, eats, goes to bathroom and plays and cuddles).   I took her to the vet right away Friday and they said she looks great and its most likely...

My two year old Ragdoll has had quite a history with herpes, mostly affecting her eye.  We control it with Lysine in her food every day (around 800 mg daily).  When she flares, we usually see in two ways (1) one eye begins to squint (2) she becomes quite lethargic.   Since Sunday afternoon, she...

My cat has two litter boxes---one with a roof and one without.   For awhile, she has divided her "business" between the two boxes, often electing the one without a lid/roof for more action more frequently.  But she sometimes divides her business by category---only pee in one and only poo in the...

After 8 months of fighting intermittent flare-ups of uveitis, it looks like we MAY have found the solution.  But I would love to know if anyone has been through anything similar or has advice.    My kitten has been experiencing idiopathic uveitis in her eyes for the last 8 months.  She has had...

Hi all, I had my kitten spayed on Friday morning.  The vet policy is to keep all pets overnight for observation and administration of pain meds if necessary.  She came home Saturday morning and felt like hell.  They said surgery went well.  They did not use stiches, just glue and internal...

HELP!   My kitten recently received the leukemia vaccine and developed a case of uveitis in both eyes immediately afterward.  One eye was WAY more severe than the other.   She was given a 10 day regimen of steroidal drops and ointment.  By Day 9 she looked 100% perfect.  We went back to the vet...

This is Paloma, 4 month old fire point ragdoll that was abandoned in a cardboard box on the steps of my apartment in Mexico City.  I think it was my neighbor who was tired of me "borrowing" his cat when he left her outside.  She was between 3-4 weeks when abandoned, less than half a pound and...

My ragdoll kitten developed uveitis after receiving the leukemia vaccine.    She is 5 months old, healthly, very energetic, eats a ton, drinks a ton, plays constantly and tested negative for leukemia and FIV.  She received the vaccine Friday evening and was lethargic for two days although she...
